Finally Friday Giveaway and Review!! - Contest Closed

I have always liked the thick texture and hearty feeling of Greek Yogurt, so I was very excited to sample Yoplait's Greek Yogurt varieties when asked. Getting to review it and offer you all an awesome give away makes it even better!!
I tried the blueberry variety first. I ate it plain, right out of the cup for a quick lunch one day. (Did you know that Yoplait Greek Yogurt has 12 grams of protein per container, and still only 130 calories! I didn't either until I did some reading on their website for this review. That is great!) The yogurt offered just what I was looking for - it is very rich and creamy, like Greek Yogurt should be, but it also had a good blueberry flavor that didn't taste too sweet or artificial (I loathe artificial tasting food! Plus, it really stayed with me - I didn't feel hungry again until dinner time after eating the full cup (perfect for an on-the-go lunch that won't leave me dragging later in the afternoon!)

I also tried the plain variety, because I love having plain Greek Yogurt around the house. It is good mixed in with cereal or granola (I tried this with some Fruit and Nut trail mix - it was a great snack) and I like to use it in place of sour cream because it has a very creamy texture, not runny like regular yogurt. I used some of the plain variety on my baked potato and it was creamy and yummy like sour cream would be, but without all the guilt! (Try it - you'll like it!)

If I had to find one thing to pick on about the product, it would be that the foil top seems to puncture very easily. One of my containers didn't even make the trip home without a rip in it, and the blueberry got punctured in my bag on the way to work (luckily it is so thick that it stayed where it was supposed to and didn't leak!) so I would recommend transferring it to another container if you are going to toss it in a bag or briefcase.

This will definitely be in my fridge from now on, probably the plain variety so I can use it for all the things I like to. Yum!

  2. I've always wanted to be a lover of yogurt, but the texture just doesn't work for me - too runny. But if this yogurt is thicker, I'm all for trying it! The honey vanilla sounds yummy!
